| X322 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.35/KW. 29th May, 1935. The British Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Leyland, Lancs. For the attention of Mr. Evans. Dear Sirs, I had a talk with your Mr. Skellon at Burton last night, about some very urgent experimental rubbers we are requiring. I am now enclosing detail drawings of the parts F.87439/40/41. Will you please do all that is necessary to put the mould in hand. At the moment we only require 12 rubbers. Will you please therefore get an estimate for a single capacity mould and also for a 4 capacity mould. I will give you a 'phone call about 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, so as to give you the decision of the mould cost. I trust you will do your utmost to supply the rubbers. We shall of course supply the metal parts. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
